[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't just a charter issue. Same thing happens at our MCPS school with unbelievably high scores.[/quote]

+1.  The school may not be able to kick you out or have a got to go list, but there are ways to make it uncomfortable enough that a parent with other financial options will move their child [b]rather than fight for the services/support needed for the child to be successful[/b]. [/quote]

Whether public schools or charters, there's a reason why schools push back and push kids out rather than "provide the services/support for the child to be successful" - it's most often not because they don't care or don't want to, it's because they don't HAVE the services/support for the child to be successful.  In most cases what the child needs are far greater than what they can provide with their existing resources.  You can fight for them all you like but in most cases, the additional resources won't materialize out of nowhere and all that will end up happening is that everyone will be miserable.[/quote]
